NY, Viking, (1973). Pynchon's landmark third novel, winner of the National Book Award as well as the William Dean Howells Medal for the best work of fiction by an American over a five-year span. Gravity's Rainbow became the benchmark for postmodern American fiction upon publication and secured its mysterious and reclusive author's place in the postwar American literary pantheon. Faint top edge foxing, else fine in a very near fine dust jacket with one spot of rubbing at an upper spine corner. Small hardcover first printing of 4000 copies; the balance of the first edition was issued in softcover. [#026606] $2,000
